Labour leadership nominations breakdown

I’ve spent the last couple of days gathering as much data as possible on Labour MPs to see what insights we can draw from the recent Labour leadership and deputy leadership elections. I’ve pulled out some key points in the infographics below.

Yvette Cooper has the support of the highest number of former ministers

andy burnham has the highest support of those mps who weren’t subject to trials of the blair/brown era

labour mps backing the most left wing leadership candidates have the safest majorities in their own seats

andy burnham supporters had the lowest median vote share gain in 2015

andy burnham has the most support in 4/5 of the regions with the most labour mps

Andy burnham supporters are far more likely to be facing ukip as the main opposition in their seat

labour co-op mps love liz kendall

andy burnham and tom watson is the most popular leader/deputy leader combination

liz kendall is the heir to david miliband, whilst andy burnham has the most support from ed miliband backers and new mps
